<content type='text'>
Setting the dm-crypt device's max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE is an
unfortunate constraint that is required to avoid the potential for
exceeding dm-crypt's underlying device's max_segments limits -- due to
crypt_alloc_buffer() possibly allocating pages for the encryption bio
that are not as physically contiguous as the original bio.

It is interesting to note that this problem was already fixed back in
2007 via commit 91e106259 ("dm crypt: use bio_add_page").  But Linux 4.0
commit cf2f1abfb ("dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial
request") regressed dm-crypt back to _not_ using bio_add_page().  But
given dm-crypt's cpu parallelization changes all depend on commit
cf2f1abfb's abandoning of the more complex io fragments processing that
dm-crypt previously had we cannot easily go back to using
bio_add_page().

So all said the cleanest way to resolve this issue is to fix dm-crypt to
properly constrain the original bios entering dm-crypt so the encryption
bios that dm-crypt generates from the original bios are always
compatible with the underlying device's max_segments queue limits.

It should be noted that technically Linux 4.3 does _not_ need this fix
because of the block core's new late bio-splitting capability.  But, it
is reasoned, there is little to be gained by having the block core split
the encrypted bio that is composed of PAGE_SIZE segments.  That said, in
the future we may revert this change.

Pull device mapper update from Mike Snitzer:

 - a couple small cleanups in dm-cache, dm-verity, persistent-data's
   dm-btree, and DM core.

 - a 4.1-stable fix for dm-cache that fixes the leaking of deferred bio
   prison cells

 - a 4.2-stable fix that adds feature reporting for the dm-stats
   features added in 4.2

 - improve DM-snapshot to not invalidate the on-disk snapshot if
   snapshot device write overflow occurs; but a write overflow triggered
   through the origin device will still invalidate the snapshot.

 - optimize DM-thinp's async discard submission a bit now that late bio
   splitting has been included in block core.

 - switch DM-cache's SMQ policy lock from using a mutex to a spinlock;
   improves performance on very low latency devices (eg. NVMe SSD).

 - document DM RAID 4/5/6's discard support

[ I did not pull the slab changes, which weren't appropriate for this
  tree, and weren't obviously the right thing to do anyway.  At the very
  least they need some discussion and explanation before getting merged.

  Because not pulling the actual tagged commit but doing a partial pull
  instead, this merge commit thus also obviously is missing the git
  signature from the original tag ]

As generic_make_request() is now able to handle arbitrarily sized bios,
it's no longer necessary for each individual block driver to define its

<title>dm: do not override error code returned from dm_get_device()</title>

Some of the device mapper targets override the error code returned by
dm_get_device() and return either -EINVAL or -ENXIO.  There is nothing
gained by this override.  It is better to propagate the returned error
code unchanged to caller.

This work was motivated by hitting an issue where the underlying device
was busy but -EINVAL was being returned.  After this change we get
-EBUSY instead and it is easier to figure out the problem.

Commit 4246a0b6 ("block: add a bi_error field to struct bio") has added a few
dereferences of 'bio' after a call to bio_put(). This causes use-after-frees
such as:

Commit 4246a0b6 ("block: add a bi_error field to struct bio") has added a few
dereferences of 'bio' after a call to bio_put(). This causes use-after-frees

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<id>4246a0b63bd8f56a1469b12eafeb875b1041a451</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

<title>Revert "dm crypt: fix deadlock when async crypto algorithm returns -EBUSY"</title>

This reverts Linux 4.1-rc1 commit 0618764cb25f6fa9fb31152995de42a8a0496475.

The problem which that commit attempts to fix actually lies in the
Freescale CAAM crypto driver not dm-crypt.

dm-crypt uses CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG.  This means the the crypto
driver should internally backlog requests which arrive when the queue is
full and process them later.  Until the crypto hw's queue becomes full,
the driver returns -EINPROGRESS.  When the crypto hw's queue if full,
the driver returns -EBUSY, and if CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG is set, is
expected to backlog the request and process it when the hardware has
queue space.  At the point when the driver takes the request from the
backlog and starts processing it, it calls the completion function with
a status of -EINPROGRESS.  The completion function is called (for a
second time, in the case of backlogged requests) with a status/err of 0
when a request is done.

Crypto drivers for hardware without hardware queueing use the helpers,
crypto_init_queue(), crypto_enqueue_request(), crypto_dequeue_request()
and crypto_get_backlog() helpers to implement this behaviour correctly,
while others implement this behaviour without these helpers (ccp, for
example).

dm-crypt (before the patch that needs reverting) uses this API
correctly.  It queues up as many requests as the hw queues will allow
(i.e. as long as it gets back -EINPROGRESS from the request function).
Then, when it sees at least one backlogged request (gets -EBUSY), it
waits till that backlogged request is handled (completion gets called
with -EINPROGRESS), and then continues.  The references to
af_alg_wait_for_completion() and af_alg_complete() in that commit's
commit message are irrelevant because those functions only handle one
request at a time, unlink dm-crypt.

The problem is that the Freescale CAAM driver, which that commit
describes as having being tested with, fails to implement the
backlogging behaviour correctly.  In cam_jr_enqueue(), if the hardware
queue is full, it simply returns -EBUSY without backlogging the request.
What the observed deadlock was is not described in the commit message
but it is obviously the wait_for_completion() in crypto_convert() where
dm-crypto would wait for the completion being called with -EINPROGRESS
in the case of backlogged requests.  This completion will never be
completed due to the bug in the CAAM driver.

Commit 0618764cb25 incorrectly made dm-crypt wait for every request,
even when the driver/hardware queues are not full, which means that
dm-crypt will never see -EBUSY.  This means that that commit will cause
a performance regression on all crypto drivers which implement the API
correctly.

Revert it.  Correct backlog handling should be implemented in the CAAM
driver instead.

Cc'ing stable purely because commit 0618764cb25 did.  If for some reason
a stable@ kernel did pick up commit 0618764cb25 it should get reverted.

I suspect this doesn't show up for most anyone because software
algorithms typically don't have a sense of being too busy.  However,
when working with the Freescale CAAM driver it will return -EBUSY on
occasion under heavy -- which resulted in dm-crypt deadlock.

After checking the logic in some other drivers, the scheme for
crypt_convert() and it's callback, kcryptd_async_done(), were not
correctly laid out to properly handle -EBUSY or -EINPROGRESS.

Fix this by using the completion for both -EBUSY and -EINPROGRESS.  Now
crypt_convert()'s use of completion is comparable to
af_alg_wait_for_completion().  Similarly, kcryptd_async_done() follows
the pattern used in af_alg_complete().

Before this fix dm-crypt would lockup within 1-2 minutes running with
the CAAM driver.  Fix was regression tested against software algorithms
on PPC32 and x86_64, and things seem perfectly happy there as well.
